Thunder Beast Horn, Finally Useful!

[This horn first appeared in the sixth simulation, when you avenged the Firewood Sect by massacring the Iron Blood Sect, and you obtained it from the head of the Iron Blood Sect Clan leader.]

[I didn't understand what this thing was Sixth Simulation, so I went to get it again for the Seventh Simulation.]

[Later, I learned from the Star Ape clan that it was the horn of Thunder Beast.]

[The Thunder Beast, the Star Ape, and the Dragon Scale Horse —these three primordial races of the Real Realm are known as the Three Great Ancient Divine Beasts by the Humanoid Myriad Races.]

[Among them, the Thunder Beast are few in number; although they occupy an entire galaxy, their actual population is estimated to be only in the double digits.]

[Each of them is incredibly powerful, born with the combat strength of Immortal Lord!]

[They thought it would be difficult for such a rare Ancient Divine Beast to have any interaction with them, but unexpectedly, the Thunder Beast's horn reacted on this Tianmang Star.]

[You explained the origin of this horn to everyone, and Li Wentian glanced at it.]

"Even if the Thunder Beast's horn reacted on this planet, what does that prove? It might not even be related to the Tianmang Bone."

[The Sword Master laughed.]

"Such a rare item, whatever it's trying to convey, must be something equally precious. Brother Chen, I'll accompany you on this journey."

[Therefore, you and the Sword Master, both at the Heaven-Reaching Realm, set foot on the land of Tianmang Star to search for the Tianmang Bone.]

[Meanwhile, the Great Demon, Li Wentian, Ancestor Shen, and Luo Shui remained guarding the Star Boat.]

[Just like last time, if anything goes wrong, they can come to pick us up in their Star Boat.]

[After all, starting Star Boat is quite a hassle.]

[The Thunder Beast's horns flashing light and shadow follow a pattern.]

[When you point it in a certain direction, its brightness lasts significantly longer.]

[You deduce that's where the thing it's referring to is located.]

[You and the Sword Master soared into the sky.]

"Thinking back to the last time we acted together, it was when we attacked the Desolate Ancient Secret Realm in the Human World."

[On the way, gazing at the Tianmang Star landscape below, the Sword Master remarked with considerable emotion.]

"The events of the Human World seem like they happened just yesterday, yet we are now in the vast universe of the Real Realm."

"Sword Master, do you regret coming to the Real Realm? This place must be very different from what you imagined."

"Although I've always been on the Opera Star, where the environment seems friendly, there are actually undercurrents, and the oppression and injustice against Human Race are not much better than in other places. But I always have a feeling that it shouldn't be like this."

["Yes, it shouldn't have been like this..."]

[The Sword Master's powerful intuition immediately sensed the true nature of Humanoid Myriad Races; it was only natural that the Human Race would be the leader.]

[You and the Sword Master soared through the skies above Tianmang Star, your powerful aura drawing the attention of mortals and Cultivator below.]

None of the local powers that passed by dared to show themselves, because they could tell that these were two powerful experts at the Heaven-Reaching Realm!

[After all, this is Second-Class Star; the Heaven-Reaching Realm represents the highest combat power.]

[You and the Sword Master flew higher and higher, and now you've reached above the clouds.]

[The Sword Master asked in confusion.]

"Not on the ground?"

"Hmm, it looks like it's in mid-air."

"There's a thundercloud ahead."

[Ahead, within this dark, thundercloud, bolts of lightning occasionally rumble and roar.]

[You flew around this thundercloud and discovered that the thing that echoed the Thunder Beast's horn was located within this thundercloud.]

[The Sword Master drew his sword, intending to rush into the thunderclouds.]

"I'll go in and take a look first."

You stopped him in your tracks.

"Let me go. After all, it was my idea to search for the Tianmang Bone, so I should be the one to try it out first, regardless of any danger. You stay outside and keep watch. If anything unexpected happens, go back to the Star Boat and rejoin Li Wentian and the others. Don't worry about me."

[Although the Sword Master also possesses Early Heaven-Reaching Stage cultivation, compared to your numerous attributes, it's more suitable for you to lead the charge when facing unknown dangers.]

[Having said that, without waiting for the Sword Master's reply, you plunged headlong into the thunderstorm.]

"Who dares to trespass into my cave abode?!"

[Upon entering the thundercloud, you "heard" a telepathic transmission. This telepathic transmission is not spoken language and does not require understanding the other party's language to comprehend.]

[You respond in the Human Race language.]

["Who are you! Show yourself! Or I'll smash your cave abode to pieces!!"]

[This time, the other side also replied in the Human Race language.]

"What an arrogant Human Race! This is only the second time I've seen one in all my years!"

[The other party has appeared inside the thundercloud.]

It wasn't a human; it was a beast.

[Resembling a tiger, with horns on its head, a massive body, limbs covered in scales, and surrounded by arcs of electricity.]

"Thunder Beast?!"

[This beast's appearance closely matches the description of the Thunder Beast you've seen before.]

"Hmph! You dare to trespass into my cave abode and speak so arrogantly! Today I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

"Wait! Look what this is!"

[You confidently produced the Thunder Beast's horn.]

[After seeing the horn in your hand, this Thunder Beast indeed seemed much calmer.]

[But it soon started baring its teeth.]

["So you're the bastard who stole my horn! You've left me homeless and stranded in this foreign land! I'll grind you to dust to vent my hatred!!"]

["?"]

[There's no time to explain, the Thunder Beast is already spewing endless lightning, hurtling towards you.]

[The Thunder Beast, enraged, unleashed a thundercloud that hadn't seemed large before, now covering half of Tianmang Star.]

The inhabitants of Tianmang Star looked up and saw dark clouds gathering and thunder rumbling.

"Hey, it's thundering! It's going to rain, hurry up and bring in the laundry!"

However, it only thundered but didn't rain.

[Some high-level Cultivator could clearly sense that two extremely powerful forces were locked in a fierce battle above the thunderclouds.]

[They were initially worried that such a clash between masters might affect their Tianmang Star, causing it to shatter.]

[Fortunately, your battle with Thunder Beast took place high in the sky, so the aftershocks dissipated into outer space, minimizing their impact on Tianmang Star.]

[The Sword Master, seeing the situation was dire outside the thunderclouds, wanted to intervene, but you stopped him with a telepathic message.]

"This beast should only be at the Immortal Lord level; I can handle it!"

[The Sword Master wants to say, aren't you at the Heaven-Reaching Realm? How come you're fighting across realms in the Human World, and you're still doing this in the Real Realm?]

[Three days and three nights later.]

[In a charred, large crater, you and the Thunder Beast sat down, arms around each other.]

"Can we have a proper talk now?"

[You were electrocuted by the Thunder Beast, your hair is now an afro, your face is blackened, and your clothes are tattered.]

[You beat Thunder Beast so badly his face was bruised and swollen, his bones were broken, and he was limping.]

[A single attribute grants immense power, enabling someone at the Heaven-Reaching Realm to battle Immortal Lord- level being.]

[A born Immortal Lord level being, possessing an extremely durable Ancient Divine Beast physique, and wielding thunderous techniques.]

Neither of you can do anything about the other.

When force fails to resolve a problem, then negotiation is the only option.
